''Our progress toward wise conclusion
will not be improved by dwelling upon the
theories of protection ard free trade. This
savors too much Of bsndyiDg epithets. 1t
is a condition which eonfronts US, not a
theory. Relief from this condition may
involves slight reduction Of the advant-
ages which we award our home produc-
tions, but the entire withdrawal Of such
advantages should not be contemplated.
The question of free trade is absolutely
irrelevant, and the persistent claim made
in certain quarters, that all efforts to re-
lieve the people from unjust and unneces-
sary taxation are schemes OF so-called free
traders, is mischIevous and far removed
from any consideration for the public
good. The simple and plain duty which
we owe the people is to reduce taxation to
the necessary expenses Of an economical
operation of the Government, and to re-
store to the business of the country the
money which is held in the treasury through
the perversion of governmental powers.
These things can and should be done with
safety to all our industries, without dang
er to .ahe opportunity for remunerative
labor, which our workingmen need, and
with benefit to them and all our people,
by cheapening their means of subsistence
and increasing the measure of their COM
fort"
This is sound and patriotic.
As to the ways and means they must be
left for Congress to name. 1t is not prob
able that the majority in Congress will
follow all the Presidents recommended
tons. II is improbable that they will
take toe duty off wool, about the only
product OF the farm that is protected.
Congress, if it accomplishes anything in
the way Of reduction of taxation, will be
impartial between the tariff and the in
terual revenue, bill to strike off the to-
bacco tax and equalize the tariff would 90

Women fit into yachting better than
men, for the most part, strange as it NAV
seem. Probably one reason is that they
are more used TO leisure and meet il more
gracefully; another may be that the Bos-
ton woman naturally scintillates with eff
fervescent brilliancy, and makes charm
ing guest al all times and places. How
ever il may he, the femme d'esprit is al
ways to be found among the guests of a
yachting party, as it is recognized that the
talent of brilliant conversation is the tai.
ent par excellence on hoard a yacht-it
wears best and is oftenest in requisition.
The sunshiny, merry girl, who looks on
life as one long dream Of Joy, is always of

A curious and interesting relic of In.
dian barbarism was received at the wal
department = few days ago. 1t consisted
of a necklace of human fingers. Origin
ally there Were eleven fingers strung to-
gether after the manner of necklaces of
bears claws, but three of them had been
lost. This ghastly adornrnent was cap
tured in an attack on the northern Chey-
ennes in 1876, and each finger represented
q life taken by the owner, the big medicine
man of the tribe. The fingers had been
preserved 10y opening the skin, removing
the bones, scraping away all the tissues
and fatty substances, replacing the bones.
and subjecting the skin to some tanning
process. The necklace was sent TO West
Point by Capt. Bourke, who is now en-
gagged in preparing some historical matter
relating to the Indians. 1t was brought
from West Point here in order that it
might be reproduced in paper mache at
the Smithsonian institution. n.-Washincton

From the school board proceedings, last
night. 1t will be seen that the regular an
nual change in school books has been or
dered, by which some publishing house,
possibly, is to be enriched a; the expense of
the parents of the public school pupils
While We are earnest advocates of progress
in educational matters. and while we are
favorable to every facility that will make
more thorough the educational advantages
of the peoples college" yet it certainly
does seem that there is vast amount OF
very foolish and expensive experimenting
in the matter of textbooks. We do not
believe that the efficiency of the schools is
in any way advanced by this continued and
apparently hsphazard changing of books
Each superintendent and principal probably
has his views as 30 the best series of books.
and the board under whom ne works is iu-
duced to adopt his ideas in the matter. We
know that the Hardness series of
Latin books which were put out
BY the board last night, are good;
probably not the best, but We
think fully as good as those substituted.
In making a change, il should not simply
be question Of improvement, but the i'm
provement should be so marked as TO juSti-
fly the expense Of the change to the parents.

To the Editor of the Republic:
Ever since the first gas well was drilled
in this city, ii being the first in the county.
showing small yield of gas, it has been
taken for granted that Clark county is with
out gas belt and abundant reason has been
found to justify further experiments in diff
ferent localities. The most recent expert
ments, NJ Osborn and in Pike township,
have resulted in better yields of gas than
any previous showings. ard now there is
clearly more reason than ever TO push on
the experiments the drills at work.
At least three points in the west side of
the county should be explored at once
Snyder's Station, Enon Station and Med
way.
There seems I" be quite probability that
the points may yet be found TO yield gas
enough to supply the city of Springfield and
vicinity. OBSERVER.

"There are several reasons" observed
an eX professor i'll the college of phar-
macy 10 reporter recently, why women
would make excellent druggists. For in
stance, women are quicker than men,
learn more easily and are less apt To be
deceived in reading prescriptions. They
are infinitely neater about their work. and
can do up small parcels, mix prescriptions
and wait on customers with grace that
the male clerk may envy, but can never
hope to rival. Fancy the difference be-
tween a pretty female clerk at the soda
water fountain and the usual stupid and
clumsy boy! There is no comparison"
why are not more women engaged in
this business
'Principally because it is new idea.
The first woman druggist I know of
started in New Orleans less than ten
years ago. All new ideas are Of slow
growth. l am sure that before long We
will find as many female drug clerks as
We do saleswomen in dry goods stores.
You see, drug clerks are compelled 10 pass
n rigid examination before they are al
lowed to compound prescriptions This
usually neceSsitates either n short course
in medicine. knowledge of Latin and q
thorough study of chemistry at a college
OF pharmacy or several years of cxpe-
rience in drug store. The former study
is too expensive for most young women,
and the latter has been closed 10 them, as
rule, on account of the prejudice Of
druggists against female clerks. This
will all be changed in time, though. The
work is healthy, easy and well paid and
think women will have equal chances in
1t with men"
Wouldn't You be afraid to trust them
with an important prcscription''
Not in the least" answered the pro-
fessor. ''On the contrary he added, in
conclusion, they never have heads on
them from oyerdrinking. The don't keep
late hours. They always have their wits
about them. No, give me the female drug
clerk every time for both ornament and
utility. New York Mail and Express.

MOTHER IS RESTING

III, loiiy, rough r0ad Is ended e -,
Her weary feet fav. p'esscd; sEs
HJvT rough 10 i'rT r.ss footsteps -
Fcr-aTs We ue'Sr guessed:
But with the ~eary Journey
She be L, more distressed:
The face We bend and softly kiss
Bears no impress but that of bliss.
We know that many pages
Within the book of years
She has pursued with anguish
Amid her falling tears;
That "a rtin-s, change and doubling
Have caused her many fears.
Forgotten now each pang Of woe,
No cricf again her soul will know.
We gaz, at her dear features,
Within the CaSket bound,
And IhuA that She is dwelling
Where CLan-rltSs peace is found.
That thcrr no painful partings
Her loving heart will wound;
And weeping for her, bowed and gone"
We gather strength to walk alone.
Along the way before us,
Whittier, We do not know,
II may H. Strcwu with blessings,
And pleasures We may know,
or. thickly set with dangers,
MAY bring uS uaught but woe;
Yet, DER life's pathway, she has come
At last unto her heavenly home.

The Nantucket Peep Hole.

On the roof Of the Nantucket primitive
houses, about half way between the front
door and the rear of the house, is a small
compartment about the size Of ships
hatch, known as the lookout" In Nan
tucket's palmy days in the whaling in
dustry, the industrious inhabitants would
thrust their bodies out Of this opening and
search the seas with spy glass for ship
returning with good cargo of oil. But
since the decline in this business il is not
used except when the native may possibly
wish to look out to view the summer resi-
dents carrying pocket books resembling
small whales in their plethora.-Cor.
